Re: problem with openvas after upgrade

openvassd has a rules system which allows you to restrict the hosts that test1 has the right to test.
For instance, you may want him to be able to scan his own host only.
Please see the openvas-adduser(8) man page for the rules syntax.
Enter the rules for this user, and hit ctrl-D once you are done:
(the user can have an empty rules set)

I am stuck with the same issue for a few days now as well, I ended up disable ipv6 since I dont use it. that solved the "listening on ipv6 issue"

First did you try what I mentioned above? I played around with the latest version of openvas that is in the repo and using my own tutorials went through and setup a user updated the system ran a scan etc. (see my guides) and everything worked just fine.
If the above does not work then I can suggest you to apt-get purge openvas and then apt-get install openvas then go through my guide and try it out again.

Ok I am not sure where you are having a problem or seeing a problem here.
You can add certificates that you either generate your self of that you have imported from somewhere else. I have made self signed certificates and then work well.
You may get warnings in regards to it being self signed, obviously however this is normal.
